Notes:
Abstract Changes in the spatial organization of hepatic tissue are demonstrated in Muridae caught in biocenoses with heavy technogenic pollution. The hemocapillary to hepatocyte volume ratio and, consequently, the stroma to parenchyma volume ratio are found to be significantly decreased. The changes are more pronounced in field-mice, which makes them a more preferable model for the assessment of long-term consequences of anthropogenic interventions, specifically, of radiation pollution.
